So I was banded the end of June and I have been back to old eating habits. Sometimes I wish I had gastric bypass because there are so many foods that you can not eat. I have found that I can eat the same foods as before I was banded. Since I can eat them I have been cheating. I have not gained weight but I also have not lost weight in the past few months. So I decided it was time to get help. Before I had surgery I had to meet with an eating behavioralist and I did great, she is really good. Now I started to meet with her again. I am ashamed that I broke the rules but feel good that I am getting back on track and taking charge again.

Your making changes though by going to see the eating behavioralist. That's the first step in making changes. If it's something you shouldn't be eating cake, cookies, or candy get it out of your house. This will and can still work for you. You fell off the wagon stand up dust yourself off and move on. Don't beat yourself up. Also every day is a new day! Best of luck to you!

Getting proffessional help is a huge step! Congratulations on that! Don't beat yourself up about a past you can't change, just look at what you can do in the future. Every day- every meal actually- is a chance to make healthy choices.

Thanks, it is nice to have a place with lots of support and that I feel like I can be held accountable for my actions regarding my band.
